This is useful on the AArch64 laptops [2] booting in ACPI mode, as they are Win10 laptops they use/publish WMI, hence it should stop being x86 only and be enabled on arm64 too.

Sorry, I lost track of these patches.
These look reasonable enough. Are they making their way upstream? I don't see them in linux-next currently. Since they move a couple of files they will be a headache to carry as sauce patches long term, however if they will be upstream reasonably soon then it's probably okay to carry them for eoan.
